The Celestron Hummingbird spotting scope shares many qualities with its namesake bird. In the wild, hummingbirds are known for their very small size, their agility, & their ability to travel long distances. The Celestron Hummingbird is the world's first "micro" spotting scope well suited for hikers, birders, & other wildlife watchers on the go.
Standard spotting scopes tend to be large and/or heavy, making them inconvenient to carry long distances in the field. The Hummingbird will shatter your expectations for how lightweight & compact a spotting scope can be, so you will take it places you never thought possible. You can easily hold this spotting scope in one h&, place it in a pocket, or pack it along in your carry-on luggage without compromising space.
Although it is small, Hummingbird does not compromise on quality. All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated with high transmission optical coatings. The result is maximum light transmission for bright, sharp & contrast images. The prism is phase-coated Ba K4, which increases contrast & resolution for sharper, more detailed images.
The durable body of the Hummingbird works to keep the spotting scope protected against bumps & jolts both during transport & in the field. It is also fully waterproof & nitrogen-purged, so you can use the scope worry-free in downpours, humid conditions, & other environmental challenges.
The Hummingbird 9-27x 56 spotting scope features a close focus of 10 feet, making it perfect for viewing birds, butterflies, plants, or other nearby subjects. The magnification of the 9-27x 56mm spotting scope spans the standard magnification ranges of both a binocular & a spotting scope. No matter how you choose to observe, this versatile spotting scope is an excellent all-around performer.
Unlike most spotting scopes, Hummingbird is so small that you can use it handheld at the lowest magnification level for a quick view of your subject. Travelers who want to save space can replace both their binocular & their spotting scope with this one optic. But the scope is also tripod adaptable, so you can secure it to a stable platform for comfortable long-duration or long-distance viewing.
Hummingbird provides plenty of eye relief for use with or without eyeglasses. For use while wearing eyeglasses, leave the twist-up eyecup in the lowered position. For use while not wearing eyeglasses, twist the twist-up eyecup into the extended position.
